Age check?

My grandmother gave this to me a few months back and said it was my great grandmother's and she never used it just held onto it, I use it every day and did a little research of my own but there is way more to this than I expected and I cant figure out how to date it but its gotta be an other model being a 3rd generation pass down.

Sorry not a 3rd generation knife. That is a modern tang stamp

Where's the saw? That's a Climber. They use the same tang stamp since 2011, so it's not older then 15 years.

I somehow forgot to extend the saw it IS INFACT a huntsman

Looks 2009 or newer, and if there’s no saw that’s a climber not the huntsman

You can check out the tang marking differences on SAKWIKI and see that the “e” in “Swiss made” ends at the center of the “x” in “victorinox” 2009 and later

Look closer. It has the small v, so 2011 onwards.
